Triumphs at Coventry Transport Museum

Standard from 1907

Normally I drive straight past on my way somewhere else but recently I decided to stop off in Coventry. I had lunch and visited the Transport Museum. It is well worth a detour. The impressive 1907 Standard is one of the first things you see on entering the galleries. Later I spotted several Triumphs. A Vitesse Mk2 saloon, a Spitfire + these 3.

And now for something completely different. A racing tandem trike. This machine held a world record - the least time to cover 100 miles.
